Since we last spoke, there was also a parallel submission of SLES11 SP2 patches from another user about a week ago, as you are already aware. It looks like your patch series addresses a number of other issues beyond the patches that have already been submitted, so I hope two patch series can be worked out and landed.</p> <p>For reference, the patch series are at:</p> <p>master series: <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/5113" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/5113</a><br/> b2_1 series: <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/5057" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/5057</a></p> <p>I wasn't aware that you would be submitting patches for SP2 support on b2_1. Currently we do not have plans to update the b2_1 stable branch for kernels beyond 2.6.37 due to the changes needed in the dcache. Are all of the client-side patches in the b2_1 series also included in the master series as well? It looks like a number of the b2_1 patches are back-ports from newer Lustre branches, but some are new to me and I want to make sure that they are also targetted at the master branch. </p> <p>Hi Andreas -</p> <p>Yes, I've included the client-side patches in both the b2_1 and master branches.</p> <p>The patch in <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5121" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/#change,5121</a> recently landed to master seems to have broken the build for me on sles11sp2. I'm not exactly sure why. The section of the new code</p> <div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="preformattedContent panelContent"> <pre>#ifndef __REQ_WRITE /* pre-2.6.35 */ #define __REQ_WRITE BIO_RW #endif </pre> </div></div> <p>appears to be going wrong. Even though __REQ_WRITE is defined in an enum in linux/blk_types.h, the build does the local #define and fails due to no BIO_RW being #define'd anywhere.</p> <p>If I just comment out that #ifndef ... #endif section the build completes fine.</p> <p>Oops. That's a typo. <a href="http://review.whamcloud.com/5503" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">http://review.whamcloud.com/5503</a> fixes that.</p> <p>Thanks, Jeff. That 1 line repair works for me.</p> <p>Last patch to support SLES11 SP2 server side has landed. Only the kernel tuning and fail over simulation patch are left which belong under <a href="https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-1812" title="3.6/FC18 Server Patches" class="issue-link" data-issue-key="LU-1812"><del>LU-1812</del></a>. Peter you can close this ticket.</p> <p>With pleasure <img class="emoticon" src="https://jira.whamcloud.com/images/icons/emoticons/smile.png" height="16" width="16" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"/></p> Related LU-1812 Development Rank 1|hzvfm7: Rank (Obsolete) 6176
